Released Jan 10, 2017
Passive - Doomsayer
- The 3rd hit of The Morrigan's hit chain will explode dealing damage to all enemies within range and weaken all enemies hit. Enemies afflicted by this will take additional damage over time.
Three Aspects
- The Morrigan summons her alternate forms to her side. When activated again, they focus their power together to damage and stun enemies in front of them.
Dark Omen
- Morrigan launches a wave of dark magic at her enemies, dealing damage and Dooming them for 8s. Doomed enemies will take bonus damage the next time they are hit by one of The Morrigan's damaging abilities, including her passive ability.
Confusion
- The Morrigan creates a phantom of herself while becoming stealthed and gaining increased movement speed. The phantom runs to the target area, deals no damage, and will die if it takes any damage. Morrigan loses any bonuses from this ability if she takes damage.
Changeling
- The Morrigan selects a God from the current match and becomes a copy of them. She copies all of their current stats and may use all of their abilities for the duration. She retains her own Relics and cannot use Consumables. The Rank of her abilities will transfer to the skills of the god she copies. This ability's cooldown will be increased to match the target God's ultimate if she uses it while transformed.
General
- A huge quality of life buff is being added for The Morrigan in this update. She will now have the ability to retain jungle buffs and potion buffs throughout her normal form and ult forms. Previously, if The Morrigan was relying on elixir of speed, using her ultimate would cause her to lose this effect temporarily. The same would apply to things like red buff, or power potions. Now she will be permanently buffed by this effect. It should be noted that The Morrigan does not copy the buffs or consumable effects of her opponents, only their item build. This has not changed.
Changeling
- Now transfers any jungle buff or consumable potion effects she has currently active onto her transformed state in her ultimate.
General
- Fixed an issue where her clone spawned from ability 3 would look like it’s providing enemies with a stack of Ethereal Staff, even though it does not provide a stack
- Fixed an issue where The Morrigan would not be hit by certain AoE effects when exiting her Ultimate State within the area
- Fixed an issue where The Morrigan Ult was giving unintended extra stacks on Charon’s Coin
General
- Fixed an issue where certain audio cues were not playing on her default skin.
- Added a unique explode sound to her 3rd basic attack for her default and all skins.
General
- Fixed issues with her ultimate target selection UI (already hotfixed in live SMITE)
General
- Fixed an issue where this god could not select a target for her ultimate when using PC Controller mode or Console KBM Mode.
General
- The Morrigan has the unique ability to become any other god. This effect is so uniquely powerful that the ability was put on a very high cooldown ever since her launch. We are decreasing this in the early game to make sure her players can show off their skills. Keep in mind this ability still increases its cooldown to match that of the opponent's Ultimate cooldown, but that never happens in the first few ranks.
- Changeling
- Fixed an issue where she can use a Relic just as she's coming out of her Ultimate and it won't go on cooldown.
- Fixed an issue where if she dies while using Neith Ultimate, players retain a red and blue glow.
- Fixed cooldowns not resetting when she transforms into King Arthur.
Changeling
- Decreased Cooldown from 160/140/120/100/80s to 140/125/110/95/80s.
General
- Fixed VXG Bird from t-posing if you perform any other VGS before the animation ends.
General
- Fixed The Morrigan getting stuck in place if dying while in Jormungandr The World Serpent.
General
- Fixed an issue where this God could cause Spectator mode to crash.
General
- Gold gains while transformed should now properly display on the UI.
- Added extra functionality to prevent or reduce the chances of the bug occurring where she has no abilities for a short time after transforming.
- Fixed an issue where the player camera would jump across the map for a brief time when transforming through her ultimate.
General
- SMITE's most difficult goddess has dropped lower than we anticipated. One factor that is limiting her is her ability to more directly compete as a mage during the laning phase. Her early clear being weak was not a specific design choice, but a result of balancing the flexibility she brings to a team. It can be seen now that it was too low and hurt her too much. We are increasing the amount of damage Dark Omen deals to minions by a significant amount to help The Morrigan more closely match the pace of other mid laners.
- The Morrigan's ultimate now copies the target gods item stack number and evolved items.
- The Morrigan will now gain the correct amount of gold while in her ultimate form.
- Fixed issues where The Morrigan could be hit by certain effects more than once when reverting out of her ultimate.
Dark Omen
- Increased Minion Bonus Damage from 20/35/50/65/80 to 40/70/100/130/160.
General
- The Morrigan was shapeshifting all over the Conquest map in Season 4, but with the many changes to the meta she fell out of favor slightly. She can struggle to clear early, but her late-game damage and utility more than makes up for it. What we want to adjust instead is her mobility. The Morrigan played well as a roaming ganker in Season 4, but the larger Map in Season 5 made this harder for her. She is getting movement speed increases across the board on her Confusion ability to bring her back to the battleground.
Confusion
- Increased Movement Speed from 20/25/30/35/40% to 30/32.5/35/37.5/40%.
Changeling
- Fixed an issue where using quick/instant cast could result in The Morrigan switching to the incorrect target.
- Fixed an issue where The Morrigan's camera could become permanently zoomed out when transforming into Nu Wa.
Confusion
- Fixed the stealth material on low shader settings.
Changeling
- Fixed issue where The Morrigan couldn't left-click to fire Hachiman's Ult.
Deadly Aspects
- Fixed an issue where the audio for the warmup of this ability would not play.
General
- The Morrigan was slow to start but has really ramped up in performance over the recent SPL splits and at Dreamhack Valencia. Her ability to transform to fit any situation is powerful, but what really impacted games was her long Stealth.
- Players could use this far away from a team and burst a squishy character without much (if any) warning. With some CDR, she could be doing this nonstop. We are reducing the duration of this Stealth effect while making it more expensive to spam in the later stages of the game.
- This adjustment should allow the top end players to have more counterplay options when fighting against The Morrigan.
Confusion
- Decreased Stealth duration from 4/5/6/7/8s -> 4/4.5/5/5.5/6.
- Adjusted Mana cost from 70 at all ranks -> 60/65/70/75/80.
Changeling
- If The Morrigan clones a player with an evolved item, the Tier 1 form is now properly copied.
Confusion
- Fixed The Morrigan's clone using Nox's Icon.
Changeling
- The Morrigan's Ultimate Cooldown will increase to her target God's Ultimate Cooldown even if she does not use her target's Ult Ability.
Confusion
- Minion Damage can no longer break the Stealth from Confusion.
- The Morrigan's phantom will no longer add stacks to Isis' Passive when destroyed.
Changeling
- Fixed an issue where targeters from Awilix would persist after transforming into her.
General
- Fixed an issue where the spectator client would show an incorrect Cooldown for The Morrigan's Relics.
Changeling
- Fixed an issue where clients were not taken to the End of Match Lobby if The Morrigan's Ultimate ends after the end of the game.
- Fixed an issue where The Morrigan's Basic Attacks would still fire when transformed into a different God.
General
- Added audio to The Morrigan's basic attacks in her Woodland Rogue skin.
- Fixed an issue that forced us to disable The Morrigan's Mastery skins. These should be available once this hotfix goes live.
Changeling
- When transforming into Skadi, The Morrigan should now properly gain Kaldr as her companion.
General
- Fixed an issue where The Morrigan's basic attacks had no sound.
Doomsayer
- Fixed an issue where the passive meter keep a selected God between matches.
- Fixed an issue where the passive meter would keep Kali's target selected after transforming into Kali.
